Hashirama Reborn

After several days of trekking, Hashirama and his companions returned to the clan's territory exhausted. After reporting the situation to Senju Fusuma, at the clan leader's order, Senju Akira and others went home to rest first, leaving Hashirama alone in the meeting room.

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn. Senju Buddha's expression was gloomy, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making people feel depressed. Hashirama's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

He secretly looked up and saw an opened letter on the table. On the seal of the letter was the mark of Uzumaki. Hashirama's face changed. Uzumaki wrote to complain so soon?

Without waiting for Hashirama to think, Senju Butsuma spoke majestically: Hashirama, this is a letter from Uzumaki, guess what it says?

When Hashirama heard this, his heart tightened and he stammered: No, I don’t know.

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Thousand-Handed Buddha's mouth, and he spoke slowly: It's a letter of thanks. The letter from Uzumaki says that Thousand-Handed has helped Uzumaki for many years free of charge. They are grateful and guilty. When they have time, they will come in person with their clansmen and gifts to express their gratitude.

Seeing Hashirama's relieved look, Senju Butsuma continued: The letter also specifically mentioned his appreciation for you. Tell me honestly, did you do anything unnecessary?

Hashirama's expression froze and he was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words. Then he slowly opened his mouth and told him everything that had happened to the Uzumaki clan.

He described in detail how he helped the Uzumaki clan solve the problem of the three tails, how he discovered that the fishermen were asked to pay extra, and finally how he got the Uzumaki clan leader to return the money.

Thousand-Handed Buddha listened to the whole thing with an expressionless face. His eyes were deep and sharp. After a long while, he asked: So, are the tribesmen happy after you leave?

Hashirama was stunned by this question. He thought his father would be furious with him for making the decision on his own, or even beat him up. But when he saw his father's calm expression and tone, he spoke uncertainly: Everyone must be very happy, because Uzumaki sent a lot of things.

...Really? You should go back.

Eh, just, just go back?

Oh, you want to stay and learn how to handle clan affairs?

No, no, no, I'll go back first. When he reached the door, Hashirama hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Father, don't you blame me? This matter will affect the relationship between the two clans."

Qianshou Fujian buried his head in the scroll and answered without raising his head: "Why should I blame you? Aren't the tribesmen very happy?" As for the mood of Uzumaki, hey, Qianshou has helped them enough for free over the years, so much that they can no longer see the truth.

They should have understood long ago that it was never Qianshou who offered to help, but the fact was that Uzumaki needed help. The clan was not without complaints about helping Uzumaki for free, but because of the relationship between them, they were reluctant to say it out loud.

You did a good job this time. Although your methods were still too immature, you did give Uzumaki a warning and made them understand our Thousand Hands' bottom line and principles. The tribesmen who came back this time were quite satisfied. Next time Uzumaki asks for help, we can use this incident as an opportunity to offer appropriate compensation.

Hashirama, you must remember, Senju Butsuma raised his head, looked directly into Hashirama's dark eyes, and said in a stern tone: As the next leader of the Senju clan, no matter what situation you face, you must put the interests of the Senju first.

Yes!

Well, Senju Butsuma nodded with satisfaction, let's go back, Tobirama has not returned from the mission yet, Itama should be at home, you can guide Itama's practice, even if he doesn't have to go on a mission, he can't lose the basic practice.

Okay, father.

Hashirama rushed home and just as he opened the door, he saw Itama squatting on the table drying herbs with a serious look on his face. Hashirama asked curiously: Itama, no training today?

When Itama heard his brother's voice, he was startled and almost dropped the herbs in his hand. He put down the herbs carefully, cheered and jumped into Hashirama's arms, rubbing him excitedly. Hashirama laughed and picked up his brother and turned around twice. For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.

The two brothers hugged each other affectionately for a while, returned to the table and sat down, and began to talk about their recent situation. With the popularity of the Shadow Clone Technique, Itachi was faced with a situation of doing nothing. Considering his future life, Itachi decided to learn medical skills from the Fourth Elder. Recently, he is learning how to identify various herbs and preserve them. Looking at his brother's bright eyes, Hashirama smiled and patted Itachi's shoulder, and said happily: That's great, big brother doesn't have to go to the fierce old lady when he gets hurt in the future, he can go directly to Itachi for treatment!

Banjian lowered his head shyly and said embarrassedly: No, no, I have just started learning.

Hey.

After lunch, Hashirama took his brother to an open field to practice physical skills. Unfortunately, there was too big a difference in strength. After a while, Hashirama easily tripped Itama to the ground with a clever sweep of the leg.

Itachi lay on the ground in frustration, sighing helplessly: Brother Hashirama, you are too strong, I am no match for you at all. Hashirama smiled, reached out to help his brother up, and encouraged: Itachi, you have improved since the last sparring. It seems that you have not wasted your training during this period. Come on, I will teach you.

Really? Hashirama-san!

Well, of course it's true.

The two began a new round of sparring, punching and kicking each other, sometimes moving quickly, sometimes attacking fiercely. The scene was very intense. Hashirama guided his brother's movements and techniques, and Itachi was gradually improving under the guidance of his brother.

This guided training lasted for a long time, with him falling down and getting up again, until Itama was exhausted and could not continue. At this time, many clansmen had gathered around to watch, and when they saw the duel was over, they came forward and asked to compete with Hashirama.

Hashirama accepted all the challenges from his clansmen with a smile, fighting with them one after another, and every time he could easily win with his superb physical skills and rich fighting experience. Even those Senju clansmen who had grown up for a long time were no match for Hashirama.

Awesome! Hashirama is really awesome!

Itachi, who was standing by, heard the clan members praising Hashirama and puffed out his chest with pride. Such a powerful person is his brother!

Just when everyone was getting excited and the competition was in full swing, a member of the Senju tribe suddenly appeared, attracting everyone's attention. He walked up to Hashirama and whispered: Hashirama, the tribe leader asks you to go to the meeting room immediately for an urgent matter.

Hashirama was startled and had a bad feeling. He quickly waved goodbye to his brother and clan members, then turned and rushed towards the meeting room.

As soon as Hashirama walked into the conference room, he saw his father, Senju Butsuma, sitting in the main seat, holding a scroll and looking at it seriously. Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: Father, what happened?

Senju Butsuma said in a deep voice: Hashirama, go to the Rain Country immediately, Tobirama may have been in trouble.
